Denmark’s ubiquitous Nortt is a reclusive vocalist and multi-instrumentalist specializing in what critics have labeled “depressive black funeral doom,”. Beginning his experiments in 1995, Nortt has recorded a number of demos (97’s “Nattetale,” 98’s “Doeden,” 99’s “Graven”) and official releases, most of them short-form singles and EPs like 2002’s Hedengang and 2003’s debut album Gudsforladt. That same year saw a compilation of his scattered works unleashed as Mournful Monuments 1998-2002, in 2004 came a split with Xasthur, in 2005 the second album came out entitled “Ligfærd” and in 2008 the third album “Galgenfrist”. What is next for this reclusive and obscure artist, only time will tell.

From Nortt.dk:

Nortt emerged from the deepest recess of darkness in the autumn of 1995. In alliance with the devil and a soul dedicated to death, a crusade towards eternal rest had begun. Two years passed by, creating what was to become an original concept founded on nihilistic philosophy and misanthropy welded with ghastly black metal and melancholic doom metal, which for ages had been a true possession of the sole creature behind this act.

The elegies of Nortt tell about death and darkness viewed from the dying and from the dead. They reveal a bitter hate towards life and its divine maker. They praise the darkened soil as the godforsaken heaven – a heaven in hell. Thus, this has nothing to do with pity. In order to unchain oneself from the despair of life, follow the path of death! At a funereal pace and with a sombre, chanting voice, Nortt summons the forces in the night.

    Just wish the old main pic would come back. This one isn't bad at all, but the Galgenfrist cover fits better imo.
